"Nice place to stay but "property management staff and neighbors"
The location and overall condition of the property were described accurately and descriptively. My reservation with the property management team was handled very poorly. I made the reservation, paid with my credit card, and sent the identification of each of the people who would be in the property as instructed by the property management staff in an email. So when we arrived, I went to the property management office to get our passes, but they refused to give my companions their passes unless they brought their passports. We begged them to let us enjoy their afternoon and promised to return later with their passports, which they agreed to after a lengthy conversation. The next day, at 9 a.m., one of the security guards woke us all up by knocking very hard and loudly to inform us that the property manager needed my guests' passports for a report due that morning. So, when you're on vacation, the morning didn't start off well. Another incident occurred while we were playing game cards in the apartment; apparently, we were laughing too loudly, and one of the neighbors called security at 8:45 p.m. to quiet down. Be careful not to leave the lights and air conditioning on while you are away from the property, or you will pay dearly. That is all I am going to warn you about."

"So Great!
We rented here for 10 days, we loved everything about this place, didn't need to rent a car, restaurants were a close walk, the beach was great, the place was clean and nice and enjoyed the area very much. "

"Bavaro Beach Paradise
Condo was as described, pictures and location were accurate. It was an absolutely delightful stay! The beach and pool(s) are just steps away and everyone working with (transfers from the airport, check-in staff, beach staff, beach bar staff) were so helpful and friendly. English is spoken and you can absolutely converse but it is helpful to know a little Spanish as well. Would absolutely recommend this condo for your vacation.
Also, Scott and Go Punta Cana Vacation Rentals was incredibly accommodating with the pandemic. We originally planned to visit in March of 2020 and of course that didn't happen. Scott extended our credit and made it work so that we could eventually visit in Nov 2021. I haven't encountered such flexibility in the past and, amongst other reasons, would absolutely recommend booking through them. "

"I wish I could live here!
This is the best place I’ve stayed. I literally felt like home the min we walked in. It was easy and everything was in the right place. We had an issue with the internet but someone was knocking on my door before I put the phone down after sending the message. 10/10. Would totally recommend! "

"I201 at Playa Turquesa
We stayed in I201 at Playa Turquesa for a week in mid-February. First, the communication with was outstanding. By utilizing the phone, email, and the Hospitality App every question was answered immediately from booking through checkout. The unit is clean, roomy, and well equipped. The location is excellent with many shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. There were always chairs available on the beach and the location of TOC Beach Bar and Restaurant make this one of the prime beach locations in Punta Cana. The security personnel were polite and cheerful and security was outstanding. I would recommend Playa Turquesa and to anyone."

"Do not go to the Dominican Republic
This rental is upscale (terrazzo floors, marble countertops, stainless steel appliances) and immaculately clean. It is also quite large. However, the building is guarded by several armed guards. Makes you feel safe? Why do they need so many guards? It is due to the high rate of crime in the DR. Also, locals are constantly asking you to buy things or downright extorting tourists for money. All.the.time. The beach is full of seaweed and they have 2 men with rakes and a wheelbarrow cleaning it up. They can never keep up with it so it sits on the beach and stinks. The rental companies want you to believe that we had just one bad week of seaweed. That is not true and the Cardibean has had a sargassum seaweed explosion since 2011. Do your research. Met a family that ones a condo in Playa Torquesa said they never got in the water all last summer in 2018. Also power goes out frequently in this country as it is a developing country. When the power goes out, you also have NO water. This happened multiple times. This condo has absolutely NO water pressure in 2 of the showers. But the biggest disappointment is that you feel a prisoner in your condo. The beach is smelly and full of seaweed and if you leave the complex locals are extorting money. "

"Fun and sun in playa turquesa
Wonderful location with easy access to the beach and nearby restaurants. Red snapper at the TOC restaurant was fantastic. More info regarding what was available at the local market and obtaining water would have been helpful. Bam market was adequate for just about everything so didn't really need to stop at bigger grocery store for our needs. Less sheer drapes in bedroom would have been nice."

"a very nice stay
We had a very nice vacations in Punta Cana, unhopefully we had a construction next to the apartment and they started working from 6.30 am to 11.00 pm, at first with loud music included but after we argue they stop doing it. The apartment was nice and clean and also the condo."

I stayed here in A401 last year, and enjoyed it enough to return this year. I'd like to thank Jimet and Joan for their courtesy and professionalism. They helped make our stay that much more enjoyable."

"Love this place!
We absolutely love this condo complex! We have been visiting here for the past 6 years and the complex keeps getting better. This is our second time in this particular unit and will say that it could use some upgrades. The couch and ottoman have large tears in the seams, the bedding is not the greatest but for the convenience to the beach it was worth looking past these small items. I do hope they refresh the place though."

"Great but we will go a different way.
We love DR and Playa Tuquesa but were not thrilled with out Go Punta Cana Real Estate experience this time. The fridge was missing a piece that never got replaced and we were told when we checked in that we could not get anyone to clean the condo mid way through out stay. In the end Carla got us someone but we were told they could not do that any more during high season even if we stayed a month. The condo had no table and chairs on the balcony for eating and we were told it was our own mistake. I know it was but couldn't someone have gotten us a plastic table and two chairs from Ikea. And then in the end no one showed up to check us out at the prearranged time. "

"Punta Cana Vacation
Our rental experience was very positive. The rental company was very courteous and efficient. The unit we rented was very clean and well kept. A perfect set up for families. I would definitely stay at Playa Turquesa again. "

"Awesome balcony!
We loved the property we stayed in! It was spacious, clean, had a perfect location and the view from the balcony was gorgeous! We spent most of our time sitting on the covered balcony because it was like a whole extra living room that was enjoyable even in the rain.we would definitely stay in this unit again."

"Great Unit!
Excellent unit! Go Punta Cana was very easy professional to deal with. I would use them again. The only negative was that there were no screens on the windows and sliding doors, so we had a few bugs when we left everything open. Beautiful remodeled unit."

"We would go back
GREAT location, only steps to the ocean and pools. Staff great, condo clean with all appliances needed. Balcony large with comfy out door furniture, if we weren't swimming we were on the balcony enjoying the view of the ocean."

"I-201 Playa Turquesa
Playa Turquesa is a fabulous place to stay. This was our 2nd time and we will be back. We had a different unit last time that we liked better as it got more of the ocean breeze through and it didn't back up to the back parking lot. This was quite noisy early in the morning. This unit was very nice but wasn't as clean as our first time staying at this complex. But all in all it was fantastic!

"Beautiful condo on a magnificent beach.
We had a group of 8 stay in our unit. It was very roomy, clean, close to beach, and had a fully equipped kitchen. All the conveniences you have in your own home. The staff was always a phone call away and were very accommodating if we had questions. The property turned out to be better than expected. We were in walking distance of a grocery store and several restaurants. The only issue we had was finding our taxi at arrival at the airport. We were swarmed by 30 drivers trying to get us to take their taxi. Even though we looked for our guy (who should have been there holding a sign with our name on it), the continuous requests coming at us was a bit overwhelming. I would verify with the staff which airline terminal you will be arriving in. Part of our group came on Southwest, which seemed to be the cause of confusion. The cab ride was only about 15 minutes. Be aware that electricity will cost you. We ran the air conditioner at 80 degrees during the day, and 75 at night. We ended up paying 280.00 in US currency for one week in June. I still highly recommend using Go Punta Cana and staying at this beachfront community!"

"Great condo for my kids and grandkids
My grandkids loved the proximity to both the ocean and the pool. Also, there were beach toys and some board games available to them in this unit as well. All in all just a very nice family condo."

"Wonderful family vacation spot
We had a wonderful holiday vacation at Playa Turquesa! The condo was exactly as pictured. The views of the beach were fabulous and the appoinments of the unit were fantastic. We rented two units at Playa Turquesa and they were both great. Our family enjoyed playing on the beach, which was cleaned everyday, the staff at the beach and pool bars were very friendly. Were were able to book several excursions through the office and El Caribe Tours, all were helpful and the trips off property well worth it. The market onsite was also very convenient to pick up basic needs, the full grocery store in San Juan was an easy taxi ride. We very much enjoyed our stay and would welcome another vacation at Playa Turquesa again!"

"Not exactly what we expected
Property and place was nice. Disappointed that there was construction and painting going on but sure it would be nice when done. Disappointed that the swim up bar was not functional/closed as this was one of the draws. Beach was beautiful but we were not told of the excess sea weed for that time of year. Very weird to have to pay extra for electric. Language barrier so what of a problem"

"Great stay at Playa Turquesa I-201!!!
Playa Turquesa is a beautiful gated community with two excellent pools, mere steps to the white sandy beach and warm waters and represented in our case by a very professional rental company in Go Punta Cana Real Estate. Within a short walk you have all the conveniences you could need. There are plenty of nice restaurants, small grocery stores, shopping, bakery, fruit stands and of course some tasty libations. The beach is great and the water soothing. You will have to deal with some seagrass occasionally but it isn't a problem. You can walk for miles if you choose on the beach and you'll come across some shops and big resorts. You'll be glad you chose a condo and your own freedom once you see the sardine set up they have for guests. Our beach was nice and quiet with plenty of space and plenty of chairs to suit everyone. Shaded areas as well and food and drink available at the beach if you chose to indulge yourself. The condo itself is excellent with all the modern conveniences of home and you certainly will settle in like it's home. Spacious and inviting with a nice view of the ocean. We would certainly recommend both PT Unit I-201 and Go Punta Cana Real Estate if your looking for an excellent stay in Punta Cana! They can help arrange airport transfers for you and they are prompt and courteous. Playa Turquesa is a can't miss place that will definitely give you plenty of opportunity to make some great memories. We hope to return again as soon as possible. "

"A very memorable Christmas
This was our second visit to this condominium--beautiful location so close to what I think is the best beach in the area. The management company is very professional, kind, and organized."

"Overall, a very nice stay!
The condo was as pictured, and very nice. The view was even better than pictured. Condo had a slight musty smell, as do most in the Caribbean, and while we were there, the electricity and AC went out some. Note that you have to pay extra for electricity here. Can't say much for Playa Turquesa itself; no beach service to speak of--they didn't help with chair or anything, just stood there a watched you struggle. There are no cabanas, shade or beach umbrellas here. Plus, they just bring food from Citrus restaurant it you want to order, and it's not that great. The beach area is wide and the water is beautiful, but don't expect anyone at Playa Turquesa to know anything about anything, especially in the front office. Go PuntaCana Real Estate, on the other hand, was a great company to deal with and took care of the AC and non-working grill quickly. Note too that you have to buy your own water here--those big 20 gallon type deals."

"You want this place!
We were two couples and really liked the place. We were there during low season for tourists (late April) and loved our privacy. Very easy getting to the beach, pools, and parking. There is a nice shade deck area on the beach with a small bar. We rented a car. Driving wasn't a problem for us - just watch out for the huge speed bumps and remember the motorcycles don't really follow the rules. We bought groceries at the big supermarket but the little market right at the end of the condo complex was well stocked. Bought a big jug(5 gal) of water at the supermarket and used it on the water cooler at the condo. We ate many of our meals out at nearby restaurants. Our two favorites were D'Angelo's Pizza & Pasta and Balicana Asian Food. Carla, from the rental company, is wonderful and was very helpful before and during our stay. She met us at the apartment, explained things and gave many suggestion of places to eat and visit. I do wish she would have provided a detailed map of all her suggestions because I'm sure we forgot a couple. We used El Tour Caribe for our scuba and snorkel trip. The owners live in the complex and were very friendly and helpful. Great security and clean grounds. Oh yes, went to the bakery, just outside the gate, for coffee and pastries every morning."

"Great place!!!!
Everything was great! The only thing that was a little off was that there are no screens in the windows. And although the office said there was nothing to worry about I did get bitten by several mosquitoes. The second thing was that the 4th bedroom of the kitchen was so tiny and had no we had to sleep in the living room. There was no door in the 4th bathroom that was inside the 4th bedroom. But other than that everything else was awesome.... Would definitely stay there again. "

"Planning to come back!
Playa Turquesa is a great place to stay if you want to be by the action in Punta Cana without having to commit to the expense of the all-inclusives. We like to eat at local restaurants and cook for ourselves, but we also like to be on the beach with a great pool. This place offered all of that!"

"Perfect spot!
This wonderful condo was fantastic for our family of 8 (6 adults, 1 child, 1baby). It is a great alternative to an all-inclusive resort. We were there during low season for tourists (Oct.) and loved our privacy. Very easy access ro the beach, nice shade deck area on the beach. We bought groceries at the super market (by car) but the little market right at the end of the condo complex was very well equipped. We ate many of our meals out, mostly walking to wonderful nearby restaurants with great prices. The rental company was very responsive and helpful before, during, and at the end of our stay. Also enjoyed easy access to El Tour Caribe for our scuba and snorkle trips--owners live in the complex and were so helpful. We travel a lot and always want to go to different places, but can see ourselves returning here."

Awesome vacation experience. We.will return as soon we can!!!

"fantastic month in Playa Turquesa BUT!
This is my second year in the same unit. I love it's spaciousness and location.The condo itself was clean and very well stocked--absolutely no complaints.Check-in was seamless and Annie was a joy. Bam supermarket is amazingly well stocked.
Here comes the BUT.
My twin,2/1/2 year old grandchildren and a friend, swam in the children's pool. It did look a little cloudy but it was the end of the day so we thought it was just lotion. The little girls both ended up with vaginal infections! The boy had an eye infection.which was treated with drops.
Long story short, my grandson spiked a 40 degree temp throughout the week and had to fly home with it (which was torture) Went to emerg. upon arrival in Toronto-- was told he had strep/ear/severe eye infection.
All through the week, I told anyone who would listen about the dirty pools and the fact that there was smeared feces around the pool. They told me the pumps were not functioning, the feces were there for a few days!!!
COMMON SENSE: CLOSE THE **** POOL .
Summary: The baby is still recuperating a month later, still trying to regain his strength.Streptococcus can be deadly to little kids!
This caliber of complex should not have this kind of issue, the grounds are immaculate, therefore the pools should be too.
Hopefully, this will be a wake-up call."

"Wonderful condo and vacation
We had one of the best vacations ever here (we have rented condos many times from various owners in several countries). The condo was perfect for our needs. It was a great location and we loved the community. It was very quiet, which is what we wanted and we often had the pools and even beach to ourselves. We never had to fight for space. The condo itself had everything we needed and we would love to go back."

"Family Vacation
Six of us stayed in the condo and had a great time. The condo itself was clean and the perfect size. The location was fantastic. Both pools were pleasant although a little cold. The location to the beach was wonderful. Our children enjoyed the beach toys that were included with the condo which was a nice touch. The two downfalls was we had no hot water in the condo. We finally mentioned something about the 5th day in and they were able to fix it but it was still a downfall. The other was the constant pestering of the locals to shop in their stores. I realize this is their form of income but I would prefer not to be bothered at the private beach when I am trying to spend time with my children. Lise and Edwar who we booked excursions through were fabulous and made sure we got to everything. Overall the vacation was amazing even with a few bumps in the road. "
